Are you human, or are you cow fed?

Research into giving new born human babies cow milk (formula) to drink instead of our own mum made human milk is costing the NHS millions in sick children!

As a retired midwife I am now working as a doctors receptionist and it breaks my heart to see all the damaged children. Susceptible children are suffering from Eczema,  Asthma, Diabetes, Obesity and Allergies. All because formula manufacturers do not have warnings on the label to give mothers an informed choice.

Our results strengthen the existing evidence that breastfeeding confers protection against wheezing in early life, and further identify features of this association. We observed stronger protection from longer and more exclusive breastfeeding, primarily in infants with maternal history of asthma.

    Modes of infant feeding are associated with asthma development. Direct breastfeeding is most protective compared with formula feeding; breast milk confers intermediate protection. Policies that facilitate and promote breastfeeding could have impact on the primary prevention of asthma.

      Exclusive or Partial Breastfeeding for 6 Months Is Associated With Reduced Milk Sensitization           and Risk of Eczema in Early Childhood

The PATCH Birth Cohort Study
The rate of breastfeeding for at least 6 months remains low despite the widely recognized benefits of breastfeeding. Exclusive and partial breastfeeding for 6 months appears to decrease the prevalence of milk sensitization and protect against the development of eczema in early childhood. Although exclusive breastfeeding is recommended as the primary health strategy, continued partial breastfeeding for at least 6 months should also be encouraged to reduce milk sensitization and the risk of developing eczema in early childhood.

  • Increasing breastfeeding worldwide could prevent over 800,000 child deaths and 20,000 deaths from breast cancer every year.

Summary:
Just 1 in 5 children in high-income countries are breastfed to 12 months, whilst only 1 in 3 children in low and middle-income countries are exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months. As a result, millions of children are failing to receive the full benefits provided by breastfeeding. The findings come from the largest and most detailed analysis to quantify levels, trends, and benefits of breastfeeding around the world.

Once damaged your children are damaged for good! Write to your MP and demand that formula cow milk packaging have warning on them so as not to mislead parents into thinking that this is a safe way to feed babies.

In the future when all the research into human milk comes to the attention of the popular mass media (what's trending) women are going to get really mad that they have been conned into damaging their precious children by not being made more aware of the risks of using formula cow milk.

Only we can change the future. Only mothers can give the precious gift of human milk to their babies to develop them fully into the person they were always meant to be. Only women can make this choice but it has to be an informed one. 

Are we human or are we cow fed?
